The fate-verse [link] is an interesting read. It's a wip, unfortunately, although I'm hoping not abandoned (at the original lj it was posted October 2009, but reposted today at deancastiel, so maybe there's hope). AU, with Cas UST, and Cas swearing like a mofo. I like all the au world-building glimpses.
eta, not a Swan Song coda. Seems to be taking place some time after season 1,but before the end of season 2, but the au/ar is apocafic.
Season 3, Round 4, Bracket #1/1:
Sam: Yeah, because I've been following you around my entire life. I mean, I've been looking up to you since I was four, Dean. Studying you, trying to be just like my big brother.So, yeah, I know you. Better than anyone else in the entire world. And this is exactly how you act when you're terrified. And, I mean, I can't blame you. It's just...
Dean: What?
Sam: It's just, I wish you would drop the show and be my brother again, 'cause... just 'cause. 12:1
vs
Bobby: Family don't end with blood, boy.8:5
Sam and Dean: (In unison): Right, you're a mind reader. Cut it out, Sam... Sam! You think you're funny but you're being really, really childish! - Sam Winchester wears makeup. Sam Winchester cries his way through sex. Sam Winchester keeps a ruler by the bed and every morning when he wakes up..... Okay, enough! 8:5
vs
Sam: Just--bring him back. Please. 10:3

S3, R4
• Be my brother again: one time family does end with blood, no way I could vote against this one
• Sam Winchester cries his way through sex: this is just too freaking hilarious, I burst into spontaneous laughter just thinking about it
Julie, she better finish that fic! I'm in love with this Castiel and his needy needs!
